Today, we’re celebrating the start of Women’s History Month with a special crossover episode with the podcast Pantsuit Politics! Rachel Vindman chatted with Beth Silvers and Sarah Stewart Holland about Ukraine, changing your political party, and what they’ve all learned from hosting a podcast with other women. You can hear Pantsuit’s version of their conversation here.

But before her convo with Sarah and Beth, Rachel talks with her co-hosts Jasmine Clark and Amanda Weinstein about how right-wingers like Tucker Carlson could possibly support an authoritarian like Vladimir Putin, and what this war means for suburban moms like themselves. They also discuss Biden’s groundbreaking Supreme Court nominee, Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and whether it’s possible to have real conversations with people if they’re just parroting right-wing talking points. What we do know for sure is that none of this– authoritarianism, “Don’t Say Gay,” book bans– is going away any time soon.

And after Rachel’s convo with Pantsuit Politics, our hosts raise a glass to good health, managing expectations, and the brave people of Ukraine in this week’s “Toast to Joy.” Slava Ukraini.
